出24:3When Moses went and told the people all the Lord 's words and laws, they responded with one voice, "Everything the Lord has said we will do."

出24:4Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said. He got up early the next morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain and set up twelve stone pillars representing the twelve tribes of Israel.

出24:5Then he sent young Israelite men, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as fellowship offerings to the Lord .

出24:6Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.

出24:7Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, "We will do everything the Lord has said; we will obey."

出24:8Moses then took the blood, sprinkled it on the people and said, "This is the blood of the covenant that the Lord has made with you in accordance with all these words."

出24:9Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up

出24:10and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself.

出24:11But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.

出24:12The Lord said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commands I have written for their instruction."

出24:13Then Moses set out with Joshua his aide, and Moses went up on the mountain of God.

出24:14He said to the elders, "Wait here for us until we come back to you. Aaron and Hur are with you, and anyone involved in a dispute can go to them."

出24:15When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,

出24:16and the glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from within the cloud.

出24:17To the Israelites the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain.

出24:18Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

出25:1The Lord said to Moses,

出25:2Tell the Israelites to bring me an offering. You are to receive the offering for me from each man whose heart prompts him to give.

出25:3These are the offerings you are to receive from them: gold, silver and bronze;

出25:4blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen; goat hair;
